Growning up we had no bathroom and had a two holer in the shed (one for little people with two steps up to the seat) right in my home in Bangor - until 1964! A pump at the sink and we bathed in a big wash tub. When I was a Freshman in High School, my Dad thought it was time to put in "facilities". Those were great days and I have very fond memories!

Yup - I'm older than a lot of the cachers but don't feel old - and hope to keep kicking for a lot longer!

My dad built us a new home in 1952. One of his wishes was for us to have a flush toilet. We had one, only problem, we didn't have running water as of yet. The toilet had to be flush with a bucket of water that was lugged in from the well.

Our tub was one of those fancy galvanize jobs. My mother would heat the water on a two burner kerosene stove for us to take a bath on Saturday night. My brother and I had to share the water, being the oldest I got to be first. So Lois being older does have some advantages.

Lee is pretty particular about certain things. She said it just would not look classy without a seat at all. And if all your doing is pointing, it doesn't matter if the seat is up or down!

(I think I may have sent this thread down the drain)

mother always said "it's not nice to point..."

sheesh, that would make me go from taking a shower every two weeks to taking one every two months... what a pita that would be...

Not sure if this thread will ever get back on track, but water seeks its own level. And speaking of "pointing" always point in a safe direction. I've found that even though the good doctor took the bullets out of the gun, it still makes people nervous when I point it at them.
